One of the tellers stated so many members come into the branch and say, “I feel so at home.” We feel that the members are comfortable in the space because we transformed it from a dark and dated space to a clean, bright, and functional environment: all without losing the warmth the credit union naturally conveys. We collaborated with the client on developing design elements which are engaging, and which match the client’s cutting-edge marketing efforts. This collaboration translated in design as the engaging blue sky and cloud wallcovering, the prominently displayed core values on the waiting area wall, the inviting and open nature of the teller pod concept and the use of dynamic marketing via flat screen display.

LGE Community Credit Union recently celebrated the opening of the credit union’s newest branch in Canton, GA. The Canton branch is the first branch CBI has constructed for LGE from the ground up. All previous branch projects were either build-out of space in a shopping center or renovation of an existing building. The most recent project prior to the Canton project represented a change to a new retail business model for LGE incorporating advanced function ATMs for handling all transactions. This was initiated at the Roswell, GA branch and has been so successful that the credit union decided to implement the concept in the Canton, GA branch.
The new branch is 4,000 sq.ft. and features advanced function ATMs for all transactions along with engagement stations nearby for meeting with members to discuss their financial needs. In addition to conventional financial transactions, the Canton facility offers Insurance, Investments, Real Estate/Mortgage Lending and Traditional Lending, including auto and personal loans. The facility features the branded look and feel of LGE facilities and personal bankers will greet members and guests as they enter the facility in the defined engagement zone. Personnel for this facility are chosen for their ability to interact and engage with members and will be trained in all areas of product offerings so that members financial needs can be met with minimum involvement of additional specialists.

Greg Frith, President/CEO of the credit union stated, “CBI’s Superintendent, Terry Caruthers, was readily available and always quick to respond to any concerns from us.

LGE Community Credit Union recently celebrated the grand opening of their new location in Roswell, GA. CBI designed and built the new 3,342 SF facility which offers an open branch environment combining self-service and personal interactions. The Roswell branch is the first of the next generation of financial centers for LGE. The delivery model for this branch relies solely on ATMs to handle the most routine transactions, allowing the credit union’s employees to inform, promote, and educate members about the benefits of their products. Employees are trained on those aspects of the business and not on handling transactions like in the past. LGE Community Credit Union feels that soon they will be able to completely eliminate the ATM machines, as remote capture, direct deposit and the capabilities of mobile devices make transactions easier to process outside of the branch.
